Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening. So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October. As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc. I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March! What are you planting?
While they might learn from a historical perspective, they will at least have a wealth of adults around them that can all recall exactly where they were and what happened that day. It's etched on everyone minds, I can only imagine how much more so as an American. I'm not even American and I can recall the day with total clarity, and the stories of heroism and loss that emerged during and afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful so much was said this year since it was the 15th anniversary. How could we ever forget what we were doing when the word came what was happening in NYC. My generation can also tell you exactly where we were when Kennedy was assassinated.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful for the USA. . . .
I often think that 9/11 will be almost as far removed from my grandchildren as WWII was for me - which just seems impossible - WWII always seemed like such ancient history to me, but putting everything in perspective makes it not all that long ago!
